6 Advantages of Columnar Databases over Traditional RDBMS

In traditional RDBMS, when a data source is accessed by multi users at single time, then database will go into deadlock state. One of the advantages of a columnar model is that if two or more users want to use a different subset of columns, they do not have to lock out each other.         (Superior benefits for NoSQL Jobs) This design is made easier because of a disk storage method known as RAID (redundant array of independent disks, originally redundant array of inexpensive disks), which combines multiple disk drives into a logical unit. Data is stored in several patterns called levels that have different amounts of redundancy. The idea of the redundancy is that when one drive fails, the other drives can take over. When a replacement disk drive in put in the array, the data is replicated from the other disks in the array and the system is restored. The following are the various levels of RAID: RAID 0 (block-level striping without parity or mirroring) ...
